Total Scum Bags
WASHINGTON - House Republicans voted to cut student loan subsidies, child support enforcement and aid to firms hurt by unfair trade practices as various committees scrambled to piece together $50 billion in budget cuts. More politically difficult votes — to cut Medicaid, food stamps and farm subsidies — are on tap.
In other news, Exxon Mobil is getting ready to post over $7 billion in quarterly profits. The rest of the Big Oils are also reporting never before reached record high profits for the quarter.
What else can the average American do, how far can he dig into his pocket, how much more can he tighten his belt, to help out these oil companies? Shouldn't we be thinking about some more tax relief for Big Oil?
